Castellón, February 1, 2018- FACSA has participated this Wednesday in the technical conference that the people in charge of the LIFE + Futur Agrari project have organized in Vic for the completion of this project, co-funded by the European Union. This has allowed them to put into practice different technologies to manage the treatment of livestock waste during the last four years, focusing on the minimization of nitrogen in pig slurry, as well as the development of techniques for their minimization. The conference was attended by about 80 people from different fields.

The technician of FACSA Elena Zuriaga participated in this session with a presentation in the block dedicated to networking between LIFE projects focused on similar topics: LIFE Ammonia Trapping, LIFE Valporc, LIFE Beef Carbon and LIFE Arimeda. During her speech, she explained the objectives and progress of the European LIFE STO3RE project, which aims to effectively eliminate organic pathogens and micropollutants present in excess sludge and pig slurry and, at the same time, obtain agro-industrial biogas as an energy source, as well as nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus for use in agriculture.

The initiative, in which ESAMUR (Regional Entity for Sanitation and Wastewater Treatment of the Region of Murcia), AINIA (Research Association of the Agrifood Industry), CEBAS-CSIC (State Scientific Research Body), and IPROMA (accredited laboratory) participate, was launched in September 2015 and is a pilot project developed in the WWTP of Totana (Murcia).
